14. Weather Report...

Dec 2011

Back in the day, I was a hard rocker... a member of one of the top original rock groups in our area... sell out shows, lines around the block.. sex, drugs and a total rock and roll lifestyle...

on one of our very rare days off, we all decided to check out a concert at the University...

The 1973 version of Weather Report, featuring Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Miroslav Vitous, with Gregg Errico on Drums, Airto on Percussion, and Flora Purim on vocals...

that show was absolutely stunning, and that concert changed my life... the musicianship.. and the creativity... was ethereal...!
